If you are not following Michael Dunlop, then you flat out need to be! Michael is a great young entrepreneur from the U.K who is making big moves. His site RetireAt21.com is an amazing resource for young entrepreneurs and student entrepreneurs, as well as older entrepreneurs alike!

I had the chance to meet Michael while he was in Washington D.C. for Yanik Silver’s Underground 5 conference a couple weeks back. I’ve been following Michael’s journey for the last couple years so when the opportunity to meet up arose, I was happy to make the 45 minute drive!

Michael is a very dedicated and focused young entrepreneur who is really looking to help others be successful and then allowing success to come to him.

During our two hours of hanging out in the lobby, we conversed about blogging, making money online, traffic generation, new projects coming down the pipe, and much more. I also wanted to catch Michael on video, so here is a quick bio of himself as well as what his top suggestion for young entrepreneurs is! Check it out and let me know your thoughts!

Also, follow him on Twitter at www.twitter.com/retireat21!

Here’s a quick video I got of Michael sharing his tip for starting an interent business.

Ryan is also pretty well known as a speaker at many events on entrepreneurship including the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization conferences and the Extreme Entrepreneurship Tour.

At the CEO conferences, when he gives a keynote, he likes to be real and break it down. Literally, he dances to Soulja Boy on stage as seen in the video below – dancing starts at about the 1:20 mark.

Ryan had been recruited as a speaker at the Underground 5 event and it just happened that he was still in town on Sunday. Now, some of you may remember that Ryan was nice enough to sponsor a Dorm Room Biz contest and supply a signed copy of his book to a winner, so thanks again for that Ryan!

I knew Ryan was a great guy and seemed very laid back, but besides that, I honestly had no idea what to expect from him. So when he said that he’d be more than happy to meet and chat, I figured it would be a quick 10 minute thing. Yet, Ryan was more than happy to hang out with a group of young entrepreneurs for about an hour, giving his time and insight, as we talked about everything from business to sports in the UK to helping children get an education in Africa.

A question I wanted to get an answer to was why he decided to dance to Soulja Boy at the CEO conference during his Keynote and what students can get from attending the CEO conference and other conferences. You can see his response in the video below.

Thanks for keeping it real with us Ryan and hanging out. It was a pleasure to get to meet you finally and enjoy a good discussion about a range of topics. I’m sure many young and student entrepreneurs will continue to follow your journey over the next several years and look to you for inspiration.

If you are not doing so already, subscribe to Ryan Allis’ blog at www.ryanallis.com so you can read about how he got ripped off in China and much more about his business experiences and social entrepreneurship.

With the conference being in Washington D.C. and living within 45 minutes of it, I got the chance to meet up with some of the young entrepreneurs and basically organize a small meetup there in the lobby of the hotel while the conference was going on and met a handful of attendees.

Among the guys there, I got a chance to meet up and talk with Michael Dunlop, Ryan Allis, David Leggett, Garrett Goldsmith, and some others.

We had a great chance to talk about entrepreneurship, social action and social entrepreneurship, sports in the US and the UK, and much more. I’ve got a couple videos that I’ll be posting up over the next few days of Michael and Ryan, so look out for them.

“10 kids will be a part of it so they can take their businesses to a whole new level of sophistication and profitability,” says Yanik Silver, who himself started with a few hundred dollars, and has made over thirteen million dollars in less than eight years with only his wife as a part time employee.

Yanik Silver’s seminars and books have attracted millions of subscribers and followers through over a dozen different websites. He is convinced that this economy is the best time to start a web-based business from home. “I’m still blown away how many people are job hunting – even after being disappointed repeatedly with the shortcomings of employment,” Yanik says.

Shonika thinks today’s teens are different. “Teens will conquer the world if you show them how,” she says.

Last week Yanik and Shonika announced the teen scholarship program, and have already received applicants from around the world. The teens that have applied have all different kinds of companies. Many of them are making great money through companies that they run from a bedroom in their parent’s house.
